Feds hand down sealed indictment of  NYC Mayor Eric Adams. 

Fox will no doubt have a field day.

Nate is wrong but not for the obvious reason.   Indictments are a pre-req for the REPUBLICAN nomination, not the Democratic.   

[ben9753]

Republican politician is indicted: “this proves the deep state FBI is out to get every Republican! You’re next if you let them get away with it!” 
Dem politician is indicted: “ this proves how corrupt the Dems are!”

Adams …. Oy vey.  Looks like he’s been corrupted for years. 
Resign, and get ready for your trial, ‘cause you’re going down, too. 
 

ugh.

You know who wouldn't have gotten indicted and would have been a far better NYC Mayor, Maya Wiley. Wiley would have been the progressive Mayor that NYC needed. Oh well. Looks like Adams will be done sooner rather than later.

Maya Wiley was always the best choice for NYC Mayor and would in all likelihood not been indicted today. Adams needs to resign and do so sooner rather than later.

Absolutely the most predictable thing ever. Democrat, Republican, doesn’t matter. If a politico is a crook and gets caught, he has a friend in Trump. Just ask Rod Blagojevich and Kwame Kilpatirck.

It’s maybe 50-50 Eric Adams stumps for Trump these last five weeks, because a pardon is his only way out now.

Does the Mayor have pardon power in this case?

No, but a President Trump would have, which might be Eric Adams' only way out.

Totally amazing how he is still with us. Also totally amazing what has transpired in the last 100 years.

Evidence #135 that Trump is a democratic operative as he squashed an advantage the GOP had with this and threw his support to him.

Wisconsin Senate ad ran during the Brewers game with a ton of homophobic dog whistles toward Baldwin.

Hopefully this is a one-off and not a 'let's govern like Granholm and pass the buck to the next governor to deal with' trend.

One of the best and well-researched pieces I've seen on marijuana that dives into some of my long held skepticism of this industry:

Even before this, I was a no on the legalization amendment down here this year.
